This was painted on location in Crested Butte. It's a local home full of summer color. The poppies, lupines and daisies in front of this colorful home were a real drawl for me. This is available for purchase. $250.00

I painted this from inside my cabin on a rainy afternoon. The house we rented had this great back room that made a wonderful studio. It had great views of the hillside aspen trees and wildflowers.

We were blessed to spend some time in the mountains this summer. It was a nice break from the warm summer temperatures. We rented a cabin that was 7 miles down a dirt road. It was isolated with a fabulous view. I painted this from the front deck on a cool morning.

This is a 52 chevy truck left on the banks of Lake Granbury. This was a commissioned piece and a delight to create. She originally wanted a print and I suggested an original instead. Her friend, caught wind of her desire and offered to purchase as a house warming gift. It is now on display in her new home. Happy, Happy.

About Me

I have studied painting and glass work for over 25 years, constantly learning from diverse
artists and workshops. I consider myself a colorist and feel it speaks volumes in whatever
medium or subject I choose to use. My goal is to push boundaries, growing through
experimentation, variety and brush mileage.
My recent inspirations come from plein air work. Painting outdoors or working from life has
proven to be an exhilarating and challenging experience. I am inspired to record my
observations and experiences on canvas. I hope as you view my work, you will sense the
pleasure I receive from the painting process and my gratitude to God for the artistic ability
He has given me.
